We are getting married twice before mid-day! Both the ceremonies will be routed in Hindu and Sikh religious rituals.

There is never any pressure to participate, please do what you are comfortable with.

There will be a breakfast between ceremonies and a lunch after both ceremonies are complete.

During the lunch there will be an opportunity to bless and take a photo with the couple. Some family and friends will give a small monetary gift ($5-$10) as part of the blessing but there is no obligation to do so!

Note: Due to religious reasons, no smoking is allowed on this property

Please refer to the Wedding Attire section for appropriate wear

The Reception is a big party with dinner and an open bar! Please consider this while arranging your transportation

It will also be very loud; consider bringing headphones/earplugs if you are bringing young children
